A year-over-year increase or decrease in disclosed pay can include overtime, a retroactive payment, a vacation payout or severance, not only a change in base pay, rate, or role — the Sunshine List discloses total salary paid that year, not a pay rate. This list is ranked by the dollar increase, not by the percentage shown.

Method. Figures are salary paid, the same basis the year pages use for their movers sections. A mover is excluded from the raises above when their 2024 record was their first year at McMaster University (a partial year, such as a September hire, that a full second year then dwarfs and misreads as an outsized raise). This page does not list pay cuts: even the province-wide 2025 Sunshine List omits cuts for its own most recent year, since a partial final year before leaving looks identical to a real cut until next year’s data arrives — that same reasoning applies to every employer, in every year, so cuts are left off this page entirely rather than showing them in some years and not others. Counts under five people show “<5”. Data runs through 2025. The 2025 figures were published here on .
